If you want a filling that won’t need replacement as often, and has less long-term sensitivity, we are one of the few clinics with the technology to give you a much longer-lasting solution.

The Problem

Hand-made white plastic fillings are built up in layers, and set with a ‘blue light’ which makes them go from a soft putty texture to a hard plastic. However, as they harden, they also shrink upto 5% of the volume. This pulls the filling away from the cavity walls a little, and also puts it under stress. This reduces the longevity of fillings & increases the chances of sensitivity and staining.

The Solution

CEREC inlays are machine-cut from a solid block of ceramic and cemented into the tooth. This significantly reduces the negative effects of shrinkage that plastic fillings have, meaning that these restorations can last upto 3 times longer! Plus, they are computer-designed for greater precision and aesthetics. Ceramic is also much stronger than plastic, and not needing your fillings replaced so frequently dramatically reduces your future need for root canals & crowns.

Only one visit, no 2 week wait for a lab-made inlay. No second injection needed another day.
